Engineering at Nubank

We strive for state-of-the-art software development practices that currently include a variety of technologies, such as Kafka, Flink, Java, Spark, Scala além AWS infra, Clojure, and Datomic. While we value candidates who are familiar with them, we are also confident that software engineers who are interested in joining Nubank will be able to learn from our team.

At Nubank, one of our engineering principles is "Leverage Through Platforms". We build platforms that are customer-focused, product-driven, and designed for simplicity and usability.

Our platforms are built from working code solving real business needs, and we structure our teams to include all the necessary roles to ensure ownership and success.

As a member of the Nubank Data Platform team, you'll play a crucial role in building and maintaining the core data infrastructure that powers our business. You'll work alongside talented engineers to design and implement solutions that provide the core data storage and data lifecycle management capabilities of the Nubank data environment, empowering Nubankers to create, update, and generally manage data. You'll also contribute to making it as seamless as possible for data products to obtain data from external producers, ensuring a reliable and scalable data flow for all Nubankers. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability, scalability, and accessibility of data, enabling them to make data-driven decisions and build innovative products that improve the lives of our customers.
